Riassunto

This book discusses the design and performance analysis of SDRAM controllers that cater to both real-time and best-effort applications, i.e. mixed-time-criticality memory controllers. The authors describe the state of the art, and then focus on an architecture template for reconfigurable memory controllers that addresses effectively the quickly evolving set of SDRAM standards, in terms of worst-case timing and power analysis, as well as implementation. A prototype implementation of the controller in SystemC and synthesizable VHDL for an FPGA development board are used as a proof of concept of the architecture template.

Informazioni sull?autore

Sven Goossens receivedhis M.Sc. in Embedded Systems from the Eindhoven University of Technology in2010. He worked as a researcher in the Electrical Engineering of the sameuniversity until 2011, and then started as a Ph.D. student, graduating in 2015.He is currently employed as a Hardware Architect at Intrinsic-ID. His researchinterests include mixed time-criticality systems, composability and SDRAMcontrollers.

Karthik Chandrasekar

earnedhis M.Sc. degree in Computer Engineering from TU Delft in the Netherlands inNovember 2009. In October 2014, he received his Ph.D. also from the sameuniversity. His research interests include SoC Architectures,DRAM memories & memory controllers, on-chip communication networks andperformance & power modeling and analysis. He is currently employed as aSenior Architect at Nvidia.

Benny Akesson receivedhis M.Sc. degree at Lund Institute of Technology, Sweden in 2005 and a Ph.D.from Eindhoven University of Technology, the Netherlands in 2010. Since then,he has been employed as a Researcher at Eindhoven University of Technology, CzechTechnical University in Prague, and CISTER/INESC TEC ResearchUnit in Porto. Currently, he is working as a Research Fellow at TNO-ESI.His research interests include memory controller architectures, real-timescheduling, performance modeling, and performance virtualization. He haspublished more than 50 peer-reviewed conference papers and journal articles, aswell as two books about memory controllers for real-time embedded systems.

Kees Goossens receivedhis Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Edinburgh in 1993. Heworked for Philips/NXP Research from 1995 to 2010 on networks-onchips for consumerelectronics, where real-time performance, predictability, and costs are majorconstraints. He was part-time professor at Delft University from 2007 to 2010, andis now full professor at the Eindhoven University of Technology, where hisresearch focuses on composable (virtualized), predictable (real-time),low-power embedded systems, supporting multiple models of computation. Hepublished 4 books, 100+ papers, and 24 patents.
